If "shore power" means a Utility Company, then there should be a dedicated wire in your hook up cable, ie. green, running back to shore, that takes care of any errant voltages and shorts. If you have a "stand alone" system, like out in the field somewhere, and a generater making power, you need...

Remember, a cup full of hot oil can spread around, and look like a freight train wreck. Also it doesn't take a lot of oil on the pavement (when parked), to make a foot size puddle. In the old days, it was not uncommon to have an engine use a quart of oil, every 100 miles. Once I drove a 211...

Maybe you know this trick: Get a piece of cardboard & grease or oil it up, put it under the duals/with hub, and use it to slide the whole thing away from the axle end, to get to your wheel cylinders. Use the jack, to adjust highth, just right. It works slick.

I'm only a little familiar with Billings.... But have experience with your problem. Of course its Saturday (at least its not the Holidays), and probably your not going to get somebody too interested till Monday. So at least your not on the side of the road in a blizzard. I would take a deep...

The truck is sharp! When you talk about putting it to work, I always wondered how much weight DOT will allow on thoes singles, for highway service. What the tire is rated for, versus what DOT allows, I suspect are different, not to mention what Uncle Sam rated it for. I understand that it is...

I have used DOT plastic air brake line for fuel line. Its fuel proof, and imune to vibration. If you can use the compression type fittings on the plastic, and then go to 1/4" NPT, you will be in business. The copper is probably 3/8" OD, so if you use the same size plastic, you could stay with...

Well, you have your feet wet now. Welcome to the Club. The only thing to do now, is look for the right truck, to go with the tires and wheels.

Yeah --- Hang in there. In fact, I bet two dollars to a donut, that the problem is that brake booster! If it drives and runs, and you did all that work, you about have it done. Your probably getting pressure leaking by, in the booster, that causes your brakes to start dragging, or go on...

Speaking of spares, mine is mounted in the rear. On the front right side of the bed, with a stock mount. I find that most convienient. To fuss with that thing on the door side, would be a pain. Its a real load there too.

You blow the charginging circuit, as I recall, if the batteries are disconnected. Besides, you would be hard pressed to make up a set of jumpers, better the the slave set-up, both your truck and the Genny came with. All you need is the slave cable. BUT, AS ABOVE, a set of dedicated batteries...

Get some little pieces of galvanized scrap sheet, like 20 guage, and solder a patch over it with soldering iron. No open flame. Better then welding. It will not burn the coating off the tank, or cause distortion. Only way to go!

M101A2 Its a super trailer!ll

You can't use a bigger sized tube in a smaller sized tire. The tube will wrinkle, and will soon fail.

Its a super truck. Had mine over 40 years. It was designed in the 40's. Its a flat head - don't over rev it. You won't find one better, then in the pictures. Better get it! Welcome to the club.

Several turbo, Points of Observation: Boost matters. But our Deuces are older designed engines. As a Kid, I remember the diesel trucks pulling Grapevine Hill - they all smoked/at night, you could see fire at the tops of their stacks. The turbos that I am familiar with, have bushings/no...

A 105 will fit on a car hauling trailer, and can easily be loaded with just a come-along. Its a lot safer then trying to pull it with a pickup, since the trailer will have brakes.

As a similiar problem, I adopted a hitch from a Toyota Tundra, to my Deuce, by cutting the crossbar loose from the hanger brackets, and moving them together closer, then bolting to the frame. The little hanger bracket in the center, will beef it up substantially. The OD on most trucks is 32".

Leaky wheel cylinders means there is brake fluid in the drums. Fluid there means questionable friction & braking. Tow or haul it! BTW, towing a Deuce with a 1 ton, is another bad idea!

I agree with gringeltaube. The bearing/race looks good. I have seen the staining before, and I don't have a good explanition for it, other then that outer bearing might have been a little loose on the spindle and a miniscule little bit of dirt and/or rusting, caused the browning and the...

Better back off the brakes - most Folks can't appreciate how important that is!
